An attentive audience listened with in
terest to the second lecture by DR.. Berson
on The Jews Past, Present and Future,
the subject being viewed from Jewish
standpoint. After rehearsing briefly tie
substance of his first lecture, he dwelt at
some length on the irrefragible evidences
Of the past and exact fuliillment of the
prophesies of Jacob, Moses. David, Isiiab,
jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and Malachi,
the destruction of the sanctuary at the end
OF seven weeks, the Messiah cut off
IN the midst of these seven weeks,
the ten tribes dispersed and broken

placing of the abomination on the holy

and the bramble Offering her shadows to
the cedar, shall not be spared, but cast out,
trodden down and devoured by their own
fire (Rom., chap. XII. Jude vi; Rev. H., 81
Chron. XIV, Is; Judg. tx, 7-15). God
has promised to prosper those who pray for
the peace of Jerusalem, and to bless those
who bless Abraham's and IsraelS children,
and to curse those who curse them. Under
Christs personal reign during the millen-
MUM, which is close at hand, the Jews
shall have the glorious dominion over the
land, and the ministry; they are not freed
from circumcision, they have to be circum-
cised both in the flesh and in the spirit
(EZek. Xiv, 9; l Cor vii, 49,. while the
strangers or Gentle branches grated into
their tree of Christ, need not and must not
be circumcised in the flesh (Acts XIV, 10,
Is; Cor. vii, 49, but all shall worship
the Jewish Messiah Jesus, and keep his
real and only and most ancient Sabbath
days. on the seventh day, rejecting both
the Roman substitution of the Sunday and
the Mohammedan of Friday.
AT the conclusion the speaker made an
eloquent and strong appeal to his brethren
OF the Jews, TO prepare for Elijah's coming
and bringing them to the Holy Land by
giving their hearts unto the Messiah; and
proposed 10 them the opening Of Jewish
Church of Christ and also an appeal to
the Gentiles to associate and help to
open such church by enrolling them as
Gentle Christian members of the Jewish
Church of Christ; but the lecturer strongly
repudiated as wild, fanciful and unnat-
ural the demand made by the ordinary
bulk OF Christians (Gentile) on the Jew to
leave Judaism and to come over p to the
Christian Church to be admitted into their
privilege or fellowship, while he is willing
and praying to have them share those of
Christ's Jewish Church. The lecture was
listened TO attentively by Jews and Gentiles,
and after the close several of the audience
remained, manlfesting great interest, and
some prominent Jews offered their first
readiness to join such church.
